TO BUILD THEATRE
OH GRACE STREET
YVallerstcin Denies Report Tli.it
Property Has Been Sold
to Churches.
WORK TO BEGIN IN TEN DAYS
Contract to Be Awarded Just as
Soon as Architects Sub?
mit Plans.
Reports that the theatre which Hen?
ry S. Wallersteln is to erect f jr the
Wells Theatrical Company would ncl
be located at the southeast corner Ol
Eighth and Grace Streets were em?
phatically dented hy .Mr. WaMoralein
In a. statement to The Times-Dispatch
last night. While it Is known, ot
course, that members of St. Peter's and
St. Paul's Churches have endeavored
to persuade the builders to locate else?
where, all efforts in this direction have
failed, and the work of tearing down
the old structures on the corner will
begin within the next ten days.
S'o Cbnnpre In Program.
"Our orlgina'1 program has not been
changed," he said last night, "and the
architects will deliver plans within the
next few days. Contracts will be Im?
mediately awarded, the tenants occu?
pying quarters In the property to be
razed have been given notice to move,
nnd everything Is In shape to begin
work. I do not know who Is respon?
sible for the report that the ground
on which the theatre Is to stand has
hcen sold to the churches, but I .do
know that absolutely no sale has been
or will he made."
The Grace Street site was acquired
some time ago by Mr. Wallersteln, wh'o
Is under contract to build a theatre
for the Wells Theatrical Company, at
n cost of about SlftO.onn. There Is a
long term lease on the house, arid al?
though no positive announcement has
been made as to the character of at?
tractions to be put on, the general un?
derstanding Is that high class vaude?
ville will he provided. It Is said that
the theatre will be identified with the
Keith circuit. N<> time will be lost In
beginning work, as the contract st
lates that the theatre shall ho deliv?
ered to the Wells Company before the
end of November.
The plans call for a modern, fire?
proof structure, handsomely furnished
and equipped. The building will take
tip practically the entire lot, with a
irontage of sixty-eight feet on Grace.
Street and 111 feet nn Eighth Street.
Opinion has boon sharply divided on
the question of location, nnd while
the promoters have the utmost respect
for the wishes of the two churcfies
which have protested, they submit 'hat
Grace Street, between Ninth and Fifth,
is rapidly developing Into a strictly
business section. Moreover, they hn\e
called to mind the fact that there is I
no law to prevent the erection of a
theatre on Grace Street, and Hint It Is
strictly a business proposition, which
comet! within the building code and the
law.
Mr. Wallcrsteln's frank nnd empha?
tic statement will set at rest all re?
ports and rumors. The proprietors of
.he candy store, which will be lorn
down, tire preparing to move out any
3a y. H Is said that they have so
cured a site in Grace Street, between
Seventh and Eighth, 'where they ex?
pect to erect a building of their "own.
OHlcrrs Raid Gamblers.
Seven colored gamblers were round?
ed up in a raid yesterday afternoon
at George's Camp, Henrico county, by
Officers Tiller. Rcndall and Marlin,
while some of the participants In the
game managed to make good their
escape. Those captured were lolgod In
the county jail, and will probably bo
given a hearing before a magistrate
'.his morning.

TROOPS IN TEXAS
iiilll
Mobilization Apparently Value?
less for Active Service
in Field.
VIRGINIA OFFICER TALKS
Captain Wise Tells of His
Experiences at San
AntJonio.
Enemy or no enemy, the mobilized
force at San Antonio Is not ready for
any sort of active service, In the
opinion of Captain Jennings C. Wise,
adjutant of the First Battalion of
Field Artillery of this State, who has
just returned from tho manoeuvre
camp at Texas. Captain Wlso was a
member of tho tlrst detail sent from
Virginia.
While a great deal has been said, In
statements from Washington, about
the success In mobilizing tho army In
Texas, It appears that though the
army is there, that Is all that can be
snld. It couldn't do anything It it
tried. There nro no wagon trains, for
Instance. Commands took some
wagons with them, but t.iero is no
way in which tho troops could be sup?
plied with food and ammunition and
tho other necessaries of an army on
the move. This would seem, though
Captain Wise expresses no opinion on
this point, to argue that the army Is
not In Texas for the purpose of tak?
ing any sort of action whatever.
Sai Enough Otllccrs.
Again, thero are about halt enough
otllcers on the ground, according to
tho Virginian. The reason for this
was that the War Department hasn't
got enough officers to go around. A
very largo percentage of the enlist?
ed men are green recruits, picked up
over the country, and with only a few
mtintha or even only it few days' ex?
perience. Tho result that Is a good
many raw men are being handled i>y
second lieutenants, who aro devoid of I
the necessary length of service for j
the proper handling of troops.
For all rhese condl..ons, Captain
Wise blames the powers that be?I
which means, In the last analysis.
Congress. Me thlnlcs the Omrers mi
the ground aro doing the best they
can.
Tho health of the camp Is remark?
able. Ten thousand men have been
there for two months, and not a singly
case of typhoid fever has been treat?
ed. This Captain Wise regards as a
striking Illustration of the ndvances
made In medicine. All officers and
men are vaccinated against typhoid
on their arrival. There la very little
sickness of any kind.
Must Dig tor Knowledge.
As to tho practical good to be de?
rived by the details of mllllla officers,
this depends, says Captain Wise, on
the man himself. If ho has sulllclent
oxperloneo and persistence to gain
knowledge from observing what other
people do, he can lei. i n some things.
But there Is nothing approaching or?
ganized instruction for the State otll?
cers.
Each olllcer Is detailed upon his ar?
rival to be with a command of bis
own rank. There Is n Joint mess,
each visitor pnylng bis part of the
expense, as is army camps every?
where. Horses must be secured by
Individuals whenever possible, and
this Is sometimes d'flicult to do. The
camp Is situated three miles from the
city 'of San Antonio ,and outside of
Fort Sam Houston.
The trip is described as very long
nnd tiresome. Captain Wise remain1
I oil twenty days, having stayed six
days longer ..inn the official period,
and It rained seventeen of these days.
The whole face of the earth was a
mass of mud, mnkin.q movements of
any kind unpleasant. But ,as has al?
ready been said, the army couldn't
move if it tried.

DEAD IN HANOVER
Richmond Man Accidentally
Drowned While Fishing
in Cady's Pond.
IDENTIFIED BY EAGLE CARD
Friends Visit Scene and Arrange
to Bring Body Here To-Day
for Burial.
Tho body of Herman H. Beelman, of
3 West Marshall Street, was found
I yesterday floating on Cady's Pond, In
I Hanover county, near tho Chesapeake
and Ohio Hallway. He had gono fish?
ing by himself on Saturday, and It is,
believed that ho was accidentally
drowned. The authorities have no
suspicion of foul play. Tho body was
found by other llsherincn, who notlllcd
passing trainmen, by whom the gen?
eral alarm was given,
i ldentltlcatlon was at first difficult,
the only guido being a card found In
the pocket of the dead man. almost
illegible from lonss 'exposure in the
water, from which it was gathered
that his first name was Herman, tho
last name beginning "He?."
The card showed membership In
Dixie Aerlo, No. 338, Fraternal Order
of Eagles, and that order was notified.
Inquiry by a committee of the lodge
showed that Mr. Beelman had gone
fishing on Saturday, and had not re?
turned.
Friends Identified Body.
Friends went to Hanover and com
I pleled the Identification, and arrange?
ments were made last night for bring?
ing- tho body to Richmond to-day.
No announcement has been made as to
the runernl arrangements.
Mr. Beelmnn was fifty-five years of
ago. and Is survived by his wife and
three daughters, lie had been a mer?
chant, but hnd retired from active
I business and hnd spent much time in
fishing and other sports, having sev?
eral times gone on extended camping
trips Into t lie Dismal Swamp, and
other fishing grounds, where he had
etnyed for months, at a time.
It Is believed that Mr. Beelman went
out of Richmond on Saturday nrtor- '
noon. A man answering hia dcscrlp- )
tlott was seen nt Main Street Station ,
with folded fishing rods and minnow
bucket. The police were notified and |
a general alarm sent out before the
identification was completed. Railroad
men say that he was a familiar figure
on trains leading out of the city to?
ward fishing ponds.
TWO CUTTING SCRAPES
I Colored Womnn Badly Slushed, and
lioth ANsnllnntH Escape.
Debora Ross, a colored girl about
sixteen years of age, was seriously
cut yesterday afternoon by L,eroy Ro?
bertson, at her homo, 406 Short Henry
Street. Robertson, a. colored boy not
more than seventeen years of age, es?
caped.
Ambulance Surgeon Tune, who was
called, found a serious cut across tha
girl's forehead to the bone, from
crown to e:,r- /l distance of moro than
eight inches. Dr. Tune took clglTt
stitches, and left the patient at home
after treatment. He says the wound
will probably leave an ugly scar.
A similar cutting scrape occurred at
5:30 o'clock at 1S2S Dance Street, nnd
again the man escaped the vigilance of
the police. Edna Carter was cut by
John Ford. In the forehead, the temple
artery being severed. She bled pro?
fusely, and was in a crlticnl condition
when the ambulance in charge of Dr.
Tune arrived. She was also found to
have been stabbed In the back, and
struck with a brick, leaving an ugly
bruise. Her condition Is regarded as
serious, and efforts are belnfj made to
capture Ford, who. It is said, works at
u construction camp on the Hell Line
Railway, west of tho city.
Late Saturday night the ambulance
was called to fi2S Oak Street, to attend
Carrlngton Davis, colorod, who in a
friendly scrap with Ills brother, had
his nose sin open. He was treated and
left.
COMMERCIAL SINS
1 Bishop Candler Speaks -.if Those Who
Improperly Control Market.
Making money by controlling the
markets so ns to take advantage of
the necessities of others was classed
as plain stealing, In a sermon de?
livered by Bishop W. A. Candler. at
Centenary Methodist Church last
night. This allusion was made in the
course of a discussion of the cleansing
of tho temple, when Christ drove out
the money 'changers, who preyed on
the needs ot the strangers who came
to Jerusalem to worship.
These men did not, he said, present
a pistol at the heads of those whom
they robbed, and bid them stand and
deliver, but their action was none the
loss reprehensible.
America's greatest fear should not
be In political corruption, declared
Bishop Candler. The real danger of
the land is that It may forget God.
RAISE MONEY FOR
Public Meeting Held at Bijou
in Interest of Summer
Charity.
BENEFITS ARE DISCUSSED
Governor Mann in Address Tells
Excellent Joke on
Himself.
.Men nnd women of all creeds and
of no creed Joined yesterday afternoon,
at the Bijou Theatre, in the launching
of Hie campaign for subscriptions to
the fresh air camp to be established in
Chesterfield county under the auspices
of the Salvation Army. The amount
received by subscription at the con?
clusion of the meeting was encourag?
ing, and will form a basis fur the ne
ccssury amount, which will be secured
by solicitation.
'It Is the plan of tho Salvation Army
to huvc a summer camp on ground
tendered for the purpose by Mrs. K. \V.
Danner. The Idea is to take from tho
city's heat those unfortunates who can?
not afford to go to the mountains or
the seashore for a rest. After the
modern fashion, too, the young people
will be taught useful things, such as
agriculture and floriculture, to occupy
their minds and to attract their at?
tention from the demoralizing Influ?
ences of the city's streets.
Need Some lliilldlngn.
To do this, about $1,200 Is needed.
Not only must the' camp be supported,
but for the tlrst year there is tho ad?
ditional expense of the erection of a
dormitory and a dining room.
Considering the Inclement weather,
the audience which assembled at the
Bijou was regarded as large. The
addresses were larking In detailed In?
formation ns to what It is proposed to
do, but were earnest nnd Impressive,
and the contributions were most grate?
fully received.
John L,. Williams presided nnd made
some Introductory remarks. Ho mar?
veled at the advancement being made
In this age; along all lines of human
endeavor He sketched the history"- of
great movements which have swept lh?
world, showing the gradual develop?
ment of the race toward the coming
millennium.
Modern Inventions such as the tele?
phone, wireless telegraphy, the flying
marine, make one, he said, wonder
what to-morrow has In store. In all
this, he saw the signs of some great
force which will make Itself known
before long in its influence over lite
entire world.
Teaching the Child.
Charles B. Cooke spoke of the bene?
fits to be derived to the individual and
to the community from a fresh air
ramp, to take children, especially, from
the city and give them n taste of na?
ture. They will, he said, ho taught
to raise ftowers and to plant vegetables,
each successive rclny of visitors to inn
camp taking his or her part In thu
development there, building together.
This sort of treatment, In Mr. Cooke's
opinion. would implant a sense of
ownership which would prevent ruth?
less destruction ol property on the
part of those mischievously Inclined.
Also, It will teach the children a love
of beauty, and will Inure to a spirit
of civic Improvement, especially In the
matter of cleanliness.
One thousand boys, declared Mr.
I Cooke, were arrested In Richmond last
; year. He would have these boys taught
self-respect and bring them in touch
j with better things, to bring them back
[ to the city with un idea of their own
responsibility. Thus there would be
a saving In criminal expenses and a
development of character. Richmond,
said Mr. Cooke, Is one of the most con?
gested cities In the United States, and
none is so much in need of stich an en?
terprise.
Story on Governor.
"What Men Can Do for Bach Other."
was the theme of the address of Gov?
ernor William Hodges Mann. He told
a story on himself, the truth of-which
he vouched for. It will be of particu?
lar public interest, considering Its set?
ting.
There was, he Raid, an old colored
preacher in Nottoway county who re?
lied on Judge Mnnu for advice, and
prayed often for the then State Sen?
ator. The latter Introduced the Mann
liquor hill, which grieved the negro In?
tensely, for ho was very "wet." Tho
news came that the hill had been made
a law. The preacher in the next fam?
ily prayer said: "Bord, I hnve been
praying for Judge Mann a long time. I
ain't goin' to say nothin' ngln hltn
now. But If You do anything for him
You win do It-Yourself; I won't bo re?
sponsible."
The Governor referred to the many
modern agencies for the public good,
such as tht> Stale Health Department,
which Is doing such valiant work for
the safeguarding of the people of Vir?
ginia against disease. Ho also touched
on great modern movements, wurning
his hearers that it was not a question
whether or not wonderful things aro
ahead, but whether or not they would
have their part In them.
Rev. Samuel C. Hatcher, pastor of
Broad Street Methodist Church, con?
ducted the taking of subscriptions.
Many lending citizens occupied seats
on the stage.
Pledges amounting to 5-1 SC were
made at the Bijou meeting. Adjutant
B. N. Wiggins, of the Salvation Army,
thinks he can secure the rcmnlnder
by solicitation.
BISHOPS PREACH HERE
Collections Taken In All f'liurclien for

All of the Methodist pulpits In Blch
mond. nnd also a number In other
Virginia cities, were occupied by
bishops and other distinguished mem?
bers of the general board of church
extension, which has ..een In session
here, for several days. The congrega?
tions were generally large, many peo
plo taking advantage of the oppor?
tunity of hearing the foremost, men
In the church.
In every church In the Virginia Con?
ference yesterday a collodion was
taken and pledges secured for' the
establishment of a perpetual loan fund
as a memorial to the late Bishop John
Cowper Granbory. The fund will be
named for him, all churches using
any part of it in building rorelvlng
it "In the name of John C. Grnnbcry."
' No idea could he formed last night
of the amount realized from theso
